Projects

Here is an overview of some of the projects that I have done :D

Security Analysis using the CICIDS2017 Dataset

As a group, we analyzed the CIDCIDS 2017 dataset following the IR Consortium Playbook. Utilized Wireshark to analyze .pcap files to observe abnormal patterns indicative of DOS/DDoS activities. Utilized Splunk to determine the impact of attack within the dataset, revealing periods of time where the attack was affecting systems within the environment. Created incident tickets within a Catalyst dashboard which displayed the incident details, including attack timeline, identified assets, and recommended remediation actions.

pfSense Firewall Configuration

In the lab, I was able to setup a firewall utilizing pfSense and connected it to two Ubuntu VMs. Assigning a static IP address and a dynamic IP address to each VM. Established rules within the firewall blocking certain IP addresses and ports from accessing the network. Utilized Languages: Bash, Linux Utilized Tools/Operating Systems: pfSense, Ubuntu
